Amarillo Heart Group utilizes the most advanced equipment available
in performing non-invasive studies. This state-of-the-art technology
includes a wide range of ultrasound services which enables us to examine
the heart and important blood vessels of the body.
In
our on-site Nuclear Cardiology Department, we can evaluate the flow
of blood to the heart walls. This tells us a great deal about the effects
of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) - still the number one
cause of death in this country.
For patients who are unable to exercise on a treadmill, we can still
utilize these sophisticated nuclear or ultrasound studies by evaluating
the effects of intravenous medications which simulate exercise while
the patient lies on his/her back.
Patients can complete all of the non-invasive testing needed in the
office without having to go to the hospital outpatient department.
The foundation of Amarillo Heart Group rests upon our ability to provide
comprehensive cardiovascular care for our patients.
